<title>Archiving Sources - <filename>archive*.bbclass</filename></title>
<para>
Many software licenses require that source files be provided along with the binaries.
To simplify this process, two classes were created:
<filename>src_distribute.bbclass</filename> and
<filename>src_distribute_local.bbclass</filename>.
</para>
<para>
The results of these classes are <filename>tmp/deploy/source/</filename>
subdirectories with sources sorted by
<filename><link linkend='var-LICENSE'>LICENSE</link></filename> field.
If recipes list few licenses (or have entries like "Bitstream Vera"),
the source archive is placed in each license directory.
</para>
<para>
This class operates using three modes:
Many software licenses require that source code and/or other materials be
released with the binaries. To help with that task the following classes
are provided:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><emphasis>copy:</emphasis> Copies the files to the
distribution directory.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis>symlink:</emphasis> Creates symbolic
links for the files to the distribution directory.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis>move+symlink:</emphasis> Moves the files
into the distribution directory and then creates symbolic
links back to where they originated.</para></listitem>
<listitem><filename>archive-original-sources.bbclass</filename></listitem>
<listitem><filename>archive-patched-sources.bbclass</filename></listitem>
<listitem><filename>archive-configured-sources.bbclass</filename></listitem>
